Daniela 7
1 I KA makahiki mua o Belehazara, ke alii o Babulona, he moe uhane ko Daniela, a me ka lia o kona poo maluna o kona wahi moe. Alaila palapala iho la o Daniela i ua moe la, a hoike aku ia i ka nui o ia mau mea.
In the first year of the reign of Belshazzar over Babylon, Daniel had a dream, and visions passed through his mind as he lay on his bed. He wrote down the dream, and this is the summary of his account.
2 Olelo aku la o Daniela, i aku, Ua ike au ma ko'u hihio ana i ka po, aia hoi, ua paio ikaika ae la ua makani eha o ka lani maluua iho o ke kai nui.
Daniel declared: “In my vision in the night I looked, and suddenly the four winds of heaven were churning up the great sea.
3 A hoea mai la na holoholona nui eha mailoko mai o ke kai, ua like ole ko lakou ano kekahi me kekahi.
Then four great beasts came up out of the sea, each one different from the others:
4 O ka mua, ua like ia me ka liona, a he mau eheu aeto kona; ike aku la au a mokumokuia iho la kona mau eheu, a hapaiia ae la ia iluna mai ka honua ae, a hookuia ae la ma na wawae me he kanaka la, a haawiia aku he naau kanaka noua.
The first beast was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man, and given the mind of a man.
5 Aia hoi, kekahi holoholona e, o ka lua ia, o kona ano ua like ia me ka bea, hoala ae la oia ia ia iho ma kona aoao iho, aia hoi, ekolu iwi aoao iloko o kona waha iwaena o kona mau niho; a olelu ae la lakou ia ia, E ku ae oe, e ai i ka io he nui.
Suddenly another beast appeared, which looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. So it was told, ‘Get up and gorge yourself on flesh!’
6 A mahope iho o keia, ike aku ia au, aia hoi kekahi, ua like me ka leopadi, a maluua o kona kua eha mau eheu manu; eha no hoi poo o ua holoholona la; a ua haawiia mai ia ia ke alii ana.
Next, as I watched, another beast appeared. It was like a leopard, and on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.
7 A mahopo iho o keia, ike hou aku la au ma ka hihio ana i ka po, aia hoi kekahi holoholona e, o ka ha ia, he mea weliweli loa ia, he mea makau nui, he nui hoi kona ikaika; he mau niho hao nui kona, ua ai wale aku ia, a okaoka liilii, a hehi iho la ia i ke koena malalo o kona mau wawae; aole ia i like iki me na holoholona mamua. He umi hoi na pepeiaohao ona.
After this, as I watched in my vision in the night, suddenly a fourth beast appeared, and it was terrifying—dreadful and extremely strong—with large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed; then it trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the beasts before it, and it had ten horns.
8 I ko'u noonoo ana i ua mau pepeiaohao la, aia hoi, kupu mai la iwaenakonu o lakou kekahi pepeiaohao uuku, uhukiia ae la imua ona na pepeiaohao mua ekolu: a iloko o ua pepeiaohao uuku la, aia hoi, he mau maka me he maka kanaka la, a he waha hoi e olelo ana i na mea nui.
While I was contemplating the horns, suddenly another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like those of a man and a mouth that spoke words of arrogance.
9 Ike aku la au, a ua kauia iho la na nohoalii, a ua noho mai la ka Makamua o na la, ua huali loa kona kapa e like me ka hau, a o ka lauoho o kona poo ua like me ka hulu hipa maemae; o kona nohoalii, ua like ia me ka lapalapa ana o ke ahi, a o kona mau kaa e like me ke ahi e aa ana.
As I continued to watch, thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took His seat. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze.
10 A puka mai la kekahi lapala pa ahi a kahe ae mai kona alo aku: lawelawe nona na tausani o na tausani, a ku iho la imua ona ua lehulehu o na lehulehu: ua hoonohoia iho la ka hookolokolo, a weheia ae la na buke.
A river of fire was flowing, coming out from His presence. Thousands upon thousands attended Him, and myriads upon myriads stood before Him. The court was convened, and the books were opened.
11 Nana aku la au, a no ka leo o na huaolelo nui a ua pepeiaohao la i olelo ai; nana au a pepehiia iho la ka holoholona, a ua lukuia kona kino, a ua hooleiia no hoi ma ke ahi e aa ana.
Then I kept watching because of the arrogant words the horn was speaking. As I continued to watch, the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire.
12 A o na holoholona i koe, ua laweia'ku ko lakou alii ana; aka ua hooloihiia ko lakou ola ana no kekahi manawa a me ka wa.
As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was removed, but they were granted an extension of life for a season and a time.
13 A ike aku la no hoi au ma ka hihio ana i ka po, aia hoi, kekahi ua like ia me ke keiki a ke kanaka e hele mai ana ma na ao o ka lani, a hele mai no ia i ka Makamua o na la, a hookokoke lakou ia ia imua ona.
In my vision in the night I continued to watch, and I saw One like the Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into His presence.
14 A ua haawiia mai nona ke alii ana, a me ka nani, a me ke aupuni, i hookauwa nana na lahuikanaka, a me ko na aina, a me na olelo e. O kona alii ana ua mau loa ia, aole ia e pau, a o kona aupuni, aole ia e auhulihia.
And He was given dominion, glory, and kingship, that the people of every nation and language should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
15 Owau, o Daniela nei, ua kaumaha loa kuu naau iloko o kuu kino, a ua pihoihoi au i na lia o kuu poo.
I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit, and the visions in my mind alarmed me.
16 Hookokoke aku la au i kekahi o na mea e ku ana malaila, a ninau aku la au ia ia i ka oiaio ana o keia mau mea a pau. Alaila hai mai la oia ia'u, a hoakaka mai ia'u i ke ano o keia mau mea.
I approached one of those who were standing there, and I asked him the true meaning of all this. So he told me the interpretation of these things:
17 O keia mau holoholona nui eha, he mau alii lakou eha, na mea e hoea iluna mai ka honua ae.
‘These four great beasts are four kings who will arise from the earth.
18 Aka, o na haipule o ka Mea kiekie loa, e lilo ia lakou ke aupuni; a ia lakou no ke aupuni ia ao aku, ia ao aku, a mau loa aku no.
But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom and possess it forever—yes, forever and ever.’
19 Alaila, makemake aku la au e ike i ke ano o ka ha o ua mau holoholona la, i ka mea i ano e i ko lakou a pau, i ka mea weliweli loa, nona na niho hao, a me na maiuu keleawe; ka mea nana i luku a okaoka loa, a hehi no hoi i ke koena malalo o kona mau wawae;
Then I wanted to know the true meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others—extremely terrifying—devouring and crushing with iron teeth and bronze claws, then trampling underfoot whatever was left.
20 A o kona mau pepeiaohao he umi maluna o kona poo, a me kekahi mea i kupu ae, ua hina hoi na mea ekolu imua ona; ua pepeiaohao la nona na maka, a me ka waha hoi e olelo ana i na mea nui, a ua oi aku ka ikaika o kona maka mamua o ko kona poe hoa.
I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell—the horn whose appearance was more imposing than the others, with eyes and with a mouth that spoke words of arrogance.
21 Ike aku la au i ua pepeiaohao la e kaua aku ana ia i ka poe haipule, a lanakila ia maluna o lakou;
As I watched, this horn was waging war against the saints and prevailing against them,
22 A hiki mai la ka Makamua o na la, a haawiia mai i ka poe haipule o ka Mea kiekie ka hoopai ana; a ua hiki mai ka manawa e lilo ai ke aupuni i ka poe haipule.
until the Ancient of Days arrived and pronounced judgment in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for them to possess the kingdom.
23 Penei kana i i mai ai, O ka ha o ua mau holoholona la, o ka ha no ia o ke aupuni ma ka honua, he mea ano e ia i na aupuni a pau; a e luku loa ia i ko ka honua, a e hehi ia mea ilalo, a okaoka liilii loa.
This is what he said: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on the earth, different from all the other kingdoms, and it will devour the whole earth, trample it down, and crush it.
24 A o na pepeiaohao he umi noloko mai no o keia aupuni, he mau alii ia he umi e ku mai ana; a o kekahi mea e ku mai ana no mahope o lakou; aole like ia me ka mea mua, a e luku hoi ia i na'lii ekolu.
And the ten horns are ten kings who will rise from this kingdom. After them another king, different from the earlier ones, will rise and subdue three kings.
25 A e olelo ia i na mea nui ku e i ka Mea kiekie, a e hookaumaha aku ia i ka poe haipule o ka Mea kiekie loa, a e manao iho no ia e hookahuli i na manawa, a me na kanawai; a e haawiia ia mau mea iloko o kona lima, a hiki i ka manawa, a me kekahi manawa, a me ka mahele o ka manawa.
He will speak out against the Most High and oppress the saints of the Most High, intending to change the appointed times and laws; and the saints will be given into his hand for a time, and times, and half a time.
26 Alaila, e hoonohoia ka hookolokolo, a e laweia aku ke aupuni mai ona aku la, e hoopauia ua mea la, a e lukuia hoi, a hiki i ka hopeua.
But the court will convene, and his dominion will be taken away and completely destroyed forever.
27 Aka, o ke aupuni, a me ke alii ana, a o ka nani o ke aupuni malalo iho o na lani a puni, e haawiia mai i na kanaka haipule o ka Mea kiekie, o kona aupuni he aupuni mau loa ia; ao na'lii a pau, e hookauwa aku, a e malama aku no hoi ia ia.
Then the sovereignty, dominion, and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven will be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will serve and obey Him.’
28 Eia ka hope o keia mea; Owau, o Daniela, ua kaumaha au i kuu manao iho, ua ano e ko'u maka; aka, ua huna au i keia mea iloko o ko'u naau iho.
Thus ends the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and my face turned pale. But I kept the matter to myself.”
